Humane Yongchang

Chapter 500
Jingzhou, Lingling, the banks of the Xiang River.

The main force of the [-] Bolang Army and the [-] Baiyue Allied Army met on a narrow road!
"Kill!"

"Oak!"

15 soldiers will be blocked on the alluvial plain in the middle of the backwater, fighting tit for tat.

The sound of killing spread for more than 20 miles.

Blood stained dozens of miles of river water.

The corpses that had no time to gather covered every inch of the battlefield.

Looking around, there is neither loess nor green plants on the huge impact plain.

Some only have gloomy black, desolate red, and surging torrent of steel!
Still so, the drums of the two sides marching and the horns of the formation change sounded continuously, as if they were stuck together and inseparable.

Marching with drums.

Blowing horns changes.

Beat the drum and march again.

Blow the horn and change again.

The two sides of the drive, the enemy and the enemy, endlessly charge, fight, retreat, rest, charge again, fight again, and retreat again...

It's like a nightmare from which I can't wake up!
The Baiyue people are good at fighting this kind of battle. Their primitive and ignorant civilization makes them as immature in strategy as a child learning to speak!

But the compensation for strategic ignorance is that their tactical execution ability is outrageous, their individual combat effectiveness is fierce, their group combat desire is strong, and their endurance is amazing.

In the past, every close fight between the Bolang Army and the Baiyue Allied Forces ended with the Bolang Army retreating to avoid the edge.

But savages play like savages, and civilized people play like civilized people.

The Bolang army, who is good at strategy, can always find the weakness of the Baiyue people, or split into a joint attack, or attack east and west, or ambush from all sides...

Every fierce battle between the Bolang Army and the Baiyue Allied Army in the past has proved that reckless fighting is not advisable, and winning with wisdom is the right way!
But unfortunately, this time the Bolang Army did not retreat a single step, blocking the gate of the Baiyue coalition army going north, and smashing them to the death!
This is undoubtedly in the hands of the Baiyue coalition forces...

"I'm afraid the general in command of the Baiyue people never dreamed that he would meet such a 'bloody' opponent this time!"

On the general platform, Kong Xun, the commander of the Bolang Army, told a joke that was not funny.

But Bai Qi, who was standing beside him with his saber pressed, didn't seem to understand what he meant, and actually smiled.

Seeing this, Kong Xun's eyes were full of anger: "General Bai thinks this is ridiculous?"

If possible, he would rather lead his sons and daughters on the front line to charge against the hundred army, and he doesn't want to stay here, looking at this old face who cares nothing about human life!

He couldn't figure it out right now, how could such a wise emperor like His Majesty, who treats soldiers like brothers through the ages, favor such a cruel old thief with no talent, no morals?

At the right time, an orderly rushed to the general's platform, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the chief of staff, and the scouts reported that two divisions of Baiyue people in the direction of Taoyang are moving towards our troops, and they are expected to arrive at the battlefield before midnight."

Bai Qi asked without turning his head: "The two Baiyue people are part of the division, how many soldiers and horses are there?"

The messenger replied, "More than thirty thousand."

Bai Qi frowned, and calmly ordered: "Ling, the right general, Gong Ao, immediately abandon the original line of defense, move towards this place at full speed, and join our troops before tomorrow morning at the latest!"

Before the orderer could respond, Kong Xun shouted angrily, "You still want to fight? Do you want me to fight all 30 sons of the Bolang Army before you give up?"

He is not such an unwise person, but all the strategies against the enemy are in vain, which are completely different from the usual strategies of the Bolang Army, which is beyond his cognition.

And every Bolang soldier who died on the battlefield right now is strengthening the concept of "inappropriate response in vain".

As the head of the Bolang Army, he couldn't just sit back and watch his subordinates die in battle under such a stupid battlefield command, both publicly and privately.

This is also why it is a taboo for military strategists to change generals just before the battle.

The generals have not been working together for a long time, and they do not understand and trust each other. Any misunderstanding may cause suspicion.

And fighting on the battlefield is a life-threatening business. Everyone has only one life, and no one has a chance to do it again. Therefore, no one will entrust his wealth and life to someone he neither understands nor trusts.

……

Bai Qi didn't pay attention to Kong Xun, and shouted in a more emphatic tone: "Execute the order!"

The messenger woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream, he folded his fists and turned around to accept the order, then turned and hurriedly retreated.

Kong Xun's face was ashen, his breath was heavy, and his veins jumped out of his sword hand.

At this moment, Bai Qi finally turned his head and glanced at him, and said: "The old man originally thought that you could bear it for a little longer before it would happen, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and only show off your bravery. , and have the face to claim to be a saint? Are you not afraid of tarnishing the lintel of the saint?"

"Old man, how dare you insult me!"

Kong Xun was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward and punch Bai Qi.

Seeing that he was extremely angry, instead of drawing his sword, Bai Qi took the initiative to let go of the hilt of the saber, his sharp eyes relaxed slightly, and before his fist collided fiercely with his old face, he said, "You know, if it wasn't for His Majesty interceded for you with his own handwriting, and asked the old man to bring you by his side to mention more points, with the appearance of a man in you, you are not worthy to be the old man's deputy in the next life!"

When the word "Your Majesty" came out of Bai Qi's mouth, the sandbag-sized fist landed in front of Bai Qi's right eye, and the wind of the fist stirred a few hairs scattered in front of Bai Qi's forehead, violently fluttering behind his head.

Kong Xun withdrew his fist stiffly: "What you said is the truth?"

Bai Qi squinted at him: "How many heads does this old man have, dare to take His Majesty's name?"

Kong Xun's complexion gradually became ugly, and he muttered to himself in disbelief: "Why...how could Your Majesty trust a talentless, moral, and careless executioner..."

He doesn't trust Bai Qi.

But in the end, he trusted Chen Sheng.

The deeds of Chen Sheng confiscating the corpses of one son after another in the setting sun are still being sung in the Bolang army.

With his original identity and status, even if he bought people's hearts, he couldn't buy the bottom soldiers...

"You guys..."

Bai Qi turned his head and looked at the battlefield below: "I'm too deeply influenced by General Lian Po!"

Kong Xun got angry and was about to exhale fragrance when he heard Bai Qi say again: "General Lian Po is indeed a unparalleled defensive general in the world. !"

"But an unworldly famous general like General Lian Po is hard to come by in a hundred years!"

"You mediocre people, who have learned a little bit from General Lian Po, dare to enter the hall of elegance?"

Kong Xun's brows twitched, but his face remained unchanged.

"Keep, can't keep, can't stop."

"Attack, don't think about advancing, think about retreating first!"

"If you can't do it, and you can't do it, do you have the nerve to be called the second in Kyushu?"

Kong Xun suddenly changed his color and wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

He had to admit that what Bai Qi said was indeed the current predicament of Bo Langjun.

Kong Xun was speechless, but Bai Qi did not stop his poisonous tongue: "Not only is he ineffective, but he also taught the enemy to be so smooth, open your eyes and take a good look, as soon as you set foot in Kyushu, you will automatically attack together barbarians, or barbarians?"

"If you don't want to gather them together, how can you surround them and wipe them out?"

Kong Xun was startled, and said in shock, "Are you gathering enemies?"

Bai Qi glanced at him, Gujing Wubo's cloudy eyes clearly read: "Which pigsty is so short that you jumped out?" '

Kong Xun was at a loss for words for a while, but quickly said, "That's not what you said at the pre-war meeting!"

Bai Qi looked at him with more and more contempt: "You wait for the 'great reputation' that you have gained over the years. If the old man gathers his troops together and poses for a decisive battle, the Baiyue people will so obediently jump into the ambush circle that the old man preset ?”

"In addition, considering your current morale and army, even if the old man can lead the Baiyue people into the preset ambush circle, how confident are you that you can stop them from breaking through with all their strength and annihilate them all in one fell swoop?"

Kong Xun was stunned for a long time, and slowly pieced together one piece after another in his mind, before blurting out: "Are you boiling an eagle?"

He himself didn't know why he used "boil the eagle" to describe the current battle situation.

But after blurting it out, I realized that it was unexpectedly appropriate.

Boiling eagles, boiling eagles, boiled not only the Baiyue people, but also their Bolang army!

If you don't turn the hundred army into red-eyed bulls, they won't obediently jump into the trap dug for them in advance.

If they don't turn their Bolang army into red-eyed hungry wolves, then even if they lure the Baiyue people into the trap, they won't be able to keep the Baiyue people who are eager to jump over the wall.

If the state of both parties is to be in the right state, it is necessary to use intensive and detailed fighting to continuously debug.

Don't push it too hard, it will break if you push too hard.

It can't be too gentle, too gentle can't achieve the expected purpose...

Kong Xun, who had figured out the overall plan, had a sense of enlightenment, as if his vision had been released all of a sudden!
He didn't blame him for nothing.

Bai Qi's method of using troops is indeed the opposite of General Lian Po's method of using troops!
"Boil the eagle?"

Bai Qi murmured this word in a low voice, and found it unexpectedly appropriate: "Yes, the old man is boiling the eagles, grinding away your old and dull minions, growing sharper and sharper claws, and re-entering the sea to fight The wind is raging!"

Kong Xun was speechless.

Bo Langjun's pride made him want to reprimand Bai Qi for his arrogant tone.

But just now, after seeing Bai Qi's big handwriting and grandeur, he felt ashamed and admired from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't speak, but Bai Qi was still very interested in speaking: "This old man has no intention of slandering General Lian Po. In essence, this old man often deduces General Lian Po's methods of using troops. He has gained a lot and admires him deeply."

"However, I don't know whether General Lian Po was constrained by the Ji and Zhou Dynasty, or whether he was too ambitious and lacking in strength... General Lian Po's strategy against the enemy always had a sense of being late. In the war, General Lian Po always sees his tricks and dismantles his tricks, and he hardly has a comprehensive plan!"

"This is a defeat!"

When it comes to Lian Po, he still speaks in a more subtle way, and he doesn't say bluntly that Lian Po's strategy is to stretch his hips and respond passively.

He looked at Kong Xun and said very seriously: "No matter what you want to do, you must first think about it thoroughly, and then you can make an overall layout. Even if there is a slight difference, it will not be wrong by a thousand miles."

"On the other hand, the hard-working people who take one step and watch one step, if they do it right, get twice the result with half the effort, but if they do it wrong, they will retreat from the south to the north, and they will spend their entire lives without great achievements!"

"Since you are the commander of the Bolang Army, you must have a comprehensive plan for everything, and the timing, location, and harmony of people are all in the applause, so that you can fight and win when you come!"

Kong Xun struggled for a moment, and finally he reluctantly clasped his fists in salute and said, "The teaching of the Chief of Staff will always be remembered in my heart, and I dare not forget each other!"

Bai Qi also let out a sigh of relief, nodded in satisfaction and said: "You can teach me!"

Bo Langjun... Make it right!
He looked at the battlefield again, and quickly captured the casualties, morale, time, consumption and other factors of both the enemy and us into his mind. After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and said: "Ming Jin withdraws troops, order the coordinating soldiers and horses to be vigilant against the enemy from The right wing took advantage of the chaos to attack."

Kong Xun cupped his fists to accept the order: "Here!"

Holding his saber, he hurriedly stepped off the platform.

Bai Qi stood alone on the general platform, overlooking the entire battlefield, his gaze seemed to penetrate time and space, and he saw the picture of mass graves everywhere, burying 30 soldiers and horses!
He habitually narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice, "Soon..."

……

"... Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, and those who do not plan for the eternity are not enough to plan for a moment."

On the side hall of the Changning Palace, Chen Sheng leaned on the grand master's chair, and said unhurriedly: "When we govern the country, how can we aimlessly think of what to do, and how can we do it? Such a way of doing things, can things be done well?"

Li Si and Fan Zeng, who were separated from each other by His Highness, secretly exchanged glances. Li Si stood up first, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is right, but I just don't know how to plan the overall situation and the way of eternity?"

Fan Zeng stood up, "Forgive me for being dull, please show me your majesty."

Chen Sheng was very satisfied with the two people's way, he raised his hand and waved.

Meng Yi, who was standing by the side, immediately stepped forward when he saw this, took out two documents that he had prepared earlier, and distributed one to each of them.

The two documents were both unsealed, and the two opened them directly after receiving them, carefully reviewing them word by word.

Chen Sheng said in a timely manner: "I named my first political program as 'Mongzhong'."

"As the name suggests, within the first five years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court will focus on the two cores of encouraging production and encouraging births. For example, if the grain production reaches a certain standard, the imperial court will give certain tax relief. Another example is how many livestock, silk cloth and grains are rewarded by the imperial court for every baby born to each family..."

"In short, there is one purpose. The whole country will work together to solve the problem of hunger in the whole country and to strengthen our Han nationality!"

After reading the plan in their hands, the two of His Royal Highnesses fell into deep thought. They were urgently using their brains to think about the possible negative effects of the various policies in the plan...

Yes, they only think about the negative impact, because the positive impact plan has been written clearly and clearly, so they don't need to worry about it.

After a while, Li Si took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, linking the growth of food production and population with the evaluation of officials' promotion will make the local government forcefully share the production tasks regardless of the power of the people?"

Chen Sheng nodded: "There will definitely be concerns in this regard, so I said 'important', not 'the only' or 'key'."

"Of course, it is just to link this matter with the local government, so no matter how to reduce the impact of this matter on the local government, there may be incompetent officials who forcibly allocate production tasks. After monitoring, if you can take advantage of the situation to dig out some incompetent and immoral moths, it will kill two birds with one stone.

"Furthermore, we can't even dare to do the right thing because we are afraid that the people below will make mistakes. Wouldn't that be a waste of food because of choking?"

Li Si thought for a while, and felt that this was indeed the truth, so he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

After his words fell, Fan Zeng followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, the government is newly established, and the national treasury is empty. If we continue to reduce taxes and reward property for the import of additional children, we fear that the treasury will not be able to make ends meet, and there will be no surplus!"

Chen Sheng: "This policy will first be handed over to the Ministry of Accounts for accounting, and a reasonable reward standard will be formulated, so that the national treasury will not be overdrawn."

He didn't say it to death, but in his heart... How much is the tax?

He is the founding king of the great Han Dynasty, and he rules the beautiful country of Kyushu. Even if he doesn't learn from those Fang Kai who gave birth to sons without XX, he will harvest your grandparents and grandchildren for three generations with one scythe.

Can you also learn from those monopoly enterprises?You know, smokers in the 21st century pump out several aircraft carriers every year!

Naturally, Fan Zeng didn't know what was wrong in Chen Sheng's heart, but after listening to Chen Sheng's words, he had something to discuss, so he didn't go into it any further. He also bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Chen Sheng nodded: "If you have no objections, you can bring it up at the court meeting tomorrow and ask all the ministers to discuss it together."

The two of them were startled, and then there was a look of dumbfounding on their faces... Co-author, you summoned us two brothers, did you want us to cooperate with you in going through the scene?
Chen Sheng joked with a smile: "In order to respect your existence, I also broke my heart."

Fan Zeng raised his hands and said, not knowing whether to laugh or to laugh, "Excuse me, old minister, it won't be of any use if you do this!"

Li Si agreed deeply: "What Fan Gong said is very true. Your majesty is far-sighted, wise and powerful. All officials have long been accustomed to doing things under your majesty's command. It may not be easy for your majesty to speak out and remonstrate with all the officials. .”

Chen Sheng smiled and didn't take it seriously: "It's all about human effort!"

For the time being, it is indeed a good thing for him to concentrate on big things.

But if the court hall has always looked like a pool of stagnant water, it would be a big bad thing.

Chen Sheng never felt that he was a perfect man without any flaws.

He also doesn't want to test his weakness at all...

This is not power.

This is dictatorship!

Therefore, it is better to be cautious and guide hundreds of officials to participate in and discuss state affairs earlier.

This is also a seed.

　Gagen, send it...
